 This is the happiest I have been in months 

Doug
     

 This is the best experience of my life 

Charlotte: Age 7
     

 Loved meeting the gorgeous Coull Alpacas! I have learnt so much about them. they have definitely all stolen a little piece of my heart with their little quirky ways and individual characteristics. Beautiful animals in a beautiful natural setting! I definitely look forward to introducing my family to them. 

Kerren
     

 I never understood the fascination of alpaca walking but in this ancient woodland setting there is something magical about it 

Iain: Council Inspection
     

 A heart-warming experience not to be missed, incredibly fun and entertaining. These precious animals were a joy to be around, and to see them being looked after in such incredible surroundings made it even more special. A big thank you to Coull Alpacas. 

Kay
     

 Visited with my niece, her husband and their three kids ( almost 7 years, 3 years and 6 months) who are on holiday from America. We all loved the alpacas, they are so gentle and sweet. Emily is very kind and informative and has set up the experience beautifully. I did not expect that Emily would take photos - this is so welcome as hands are usually full with the kids and focussing on the alpacas takes time too. She sent lots to my niece’s instagram and they are excellent! My great niece (3) is still very excited about finding fairies on the trail! I would highly recommend. Thank you very much Emily 

Nancy Black
     

 Absolutely amazing experience and have been recommending to everyone. Emily has made such a wonderful space. My two children (3&5) absolutely loved it. We will definitely be back. 

Sarah Argo
     

 We spent a wonderful hour at coull alpacas. My kids are 11 and 13 and a friend who is 13. They had a wonderful relaxed time with 4 wonderful animals in a beautiful setting. A great family experience. Emily the owner was brilliant with myself (im disabled) and my autistic daughter and was so informative about the alpacas. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

 Visited as part of my daughters 16th birthday celebrations, an amazing experience the boys put on such a funny show for us so we got to see their full characters. Emily was so lovely and friendly, we loved our visit, looking forward to going back and seeing them again! Recommend for all ages.

 Fantastic family activity and Emily is super friendly and fabulous at explaining all about the alpacas and how they are cared for. The ideas she has to expand the experience sound fantastic and can’t wait to visit again in the future ❤️ 

Laura Murphy
     

 This was a outstanding and very personal experience. The greeting from Emily was so warm and friendly to start with and she explained about what was going to happen throughout putting everyone at ease and ensuring we were always happy. The four alpacas were so lovely and when you stroked their necks they would lean into it as they loved it so much. I got a kiss from Month, which I was delighted with. Such a brilliant family memory to have created. Would absolutely go again and definitely recommend. ♥️

 A fantastic experience. Beautiful and friendly Alpacas ❤️ We got to hand feed them, walk them in hand, take them through a really pretty obstacle course (which was great scenery for pictures), and even do some clicker training! Emily is so kind and friendly and she makes you feel so so comfortable! We will definitely be returning, absolutely worth every penny 🥰

Meet the team

Monty

Alfa, Top Dog, Boss, ID checker

Monty, or Monty Don as he is affectionately nicknamed has claimed the Alpha status in the group and keeps watch over the herd he keeps them safe, always on the look out for tigers and zombies. Monty is a rare jet black colour, Alpacas can come in 22 colour variants and black is among the rarest of these. Monty is a sweet boy and has a very expressive face he loves a neck rub and a selfie. Poo picking is sometimes a challenge as Monty spends half the time kissing my cheek in the hope of a sneaky handful of food, he is a big flirt but is terrified of our resident runner ducks.

Hamish

Hamish is the oldest in the herd, though only by a few weeks, and he is the sweetest most mild natured boy. Hamish has the best fleece quality and is very crimped, he is a beautiful caramel colour but often looks green as he likes to roll in the moss. Hamish is permanently smiling, if your having a bad day you only have to look at his happy face and you can instantly feel brighter. Hamish is the smallest alpaca in the herd and is a beautiful daydreamer.

Douglas

Douglas is the baby of the group, has been the shyest of the herd and has taken alot of gentle coaxing to come out of his shell, he is a beautiful white colour though he does enjoy playing in the mud so can often be just as brown as white. Douglas has swiftly become the baby of our families best friend our little girl Everlyn adores him and calls him her baby lamb often sneaking extra food in her pocket for him, as everyone knows the way to a mans heart is through his stomach and he now follows her round when she visits him. During the warmer months he can be found in his favourite spot, the paddling pool and does not like to share it with the rest of the herd, Douglas sometimes surprises visitors by playing a prank on them and dropping 'dead' whilst on a walk, don't worry he soon jumps back up!

Bruce

The 4th member of our herd was named through a competition, the chosen name being Bruce Bogtrotter after the greedy boy in Matilda who stole the teachers chocolate cake. Bruce is a gentle giant he is the biggest and strongest in the herd and could have easily been the alfa, however all he cares about is food and couldn't care less about the pecking order. he is the boldest, BIGGEST and bravest in the group and also the greediest earning him the interim name of greedy pants. Often found with his head stuck in a feed bucket as he doesn't give you time to dish it into the trough, actually most days he doesn't let me through the gate without putting his head under my arm and stealing food all the way to the trough, its no wonder he is the biggest! Bruce's favourite hobby is kissing visitors at our kissing booth, pucker up!

F.A.Q

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, all experiences are by appointment only.
Please use our online booking system and call or message any queries.

What is the terrain on the experience like?



The track is newly cut through the woods, and there are some roots sticking up on the trail. There are some small inclines and declines, but these shouldn't present any problem to people without mobility issues.

What age are the Alpaca Experiences suitable for?

Alpaca experiences are wonderful for any age we have had 3 year olds and 87 year olds come and fall in love with our herd.
Anyone below 18 will have to share an alpaca with an adult (over 18) when walking.
Please note as the alpaca are based in a woodland the ground can have roots, rocks etc so expect some rough terrain and wear appropriate footwear.

Do Alpaca Experiences run in bad weather?



Experiences will go ahead except in extreme cases where high winds may cause safety concerns, in these cases I will call you to re-schedule. 
Our alpacas are happy to walk out in the rain, so please ensure you bring a rain coat.  
We will contact you no less than 90 minutes prior to the trek, but please contact me if you wish to check if we are running.

What happens if I am late?



If you are late for your designated Alpaca Experience slot, you may miss it and not be granted a refund. Please try to be on time as there will be others in your group and we cannot keep them, or the alpacas, waiting.

Can dogs attend experiences?

No dogs are allowed on site as they may spook the Alpacas.
Our on site superstar Tiny Teddy is the only dog the alpacas will allow near them.
